Electricity Industry Act 2010

Electricity industry governance - Who does what - Electricity Authority

14: Independence of members of Authority

You could also call this:

“Members of the Electricity Authority must work without favouring any group or company”

Members of the Electricity Authority must act independently when doing their job. This means you can’t speak for or support any organisation, electricity company, or group of electricity companies when you’re working as a member of the Authority.

There are also other rules about how members should behave. These rules are written in Part 2 of the Crown Entities Act 2004. The rule about acting independently is on top of these other rules, not instead of them.
